The Gift of Two Free Evenings...

Carving out time to art journal=a gift I give myself!

While participating in a managerial staff meeting,
late last week, I learned tonight's 7 p.m. work-related meeting had been
canceled. Woooooo hoooooo!!!Did I share with you my
extreme excitement about this? Trust me, it's there (smile).

Akin to a gift, this scrumptious
opportunity has presented itself to me: a free evening.
Originally, my plan had been to use it to attend a second yoga class (I already had
yoga sketched in for Thursday night).

Then, I received word of a free opportunity, taking place on Thursday evening, that peaked my interest. This resulted in what seems like a worthy self-compromise to me: I can still attend a
relaxing yoga class on Monday night, and also participate in Thursday
evening's virtual Winter Solstice-themed gathering. Yes!

Below, I have shared a bit about the Thursday evening event I
plan on attending (As much as I wish I could say I was going to be at the
on-site event at a California winery--I'm live-streaming.). The information was taken from author Christine Arylo's Love Letter for Your Heart & Soul newsletter:

"This coming week is the Winter Solstice - it
is a time for slowing down and listening deeply to your heart and soul, to
nature, to spirit.

As my gift to you this season I invite you to slow
down, take a pause and really reflect on who you've become this year, what is
really important to you, and let that sink into your cells.

This Thursday, you can receive a free ticket to my
monthly Wine and Divine series - in person this month at a winery in Oakland or
live streamed into your home. I'll be sharing with you a powerful ritual I've
used for 7 years to really connect with what matters most to me at the end of a
year."

Sounds yummy, doesn't it? I am going to chill
and open one of the better bottles of wines I've got on hand, light some
seasonally-scented candles, open my growth journal and totally immerse myself
in this reflective activity. To learn more about this
free event, click here.

One never knows when or where a gift might present
itself... Looks like I've received a couple, already, this week, and it's
only Monday!
